I was hanging around the Dj's in whistler and there is a guy i think on a turner and he was doing the large transfer line with a 360 on the last jump. I have some pics and I was wondering if he posted here.




sorry for the bad pic quality... stills from a video

god damnit i miss Whistler. the first time i went through, a group of us ran into one of our sponsors from Austin. he bought us all dinner at Longhorn, and 4 pitchers of beer. that was the beginning of a very, very good night.

i couldn't believe how freakin' hot it was. damn. the dry weather we had going up through BC was nice, though. rode from San Fran to Whitehorse, Yukon Territories with 0 rainfall.
